Following a decision by the Codeberg e. V.'s Presidium, Codeberg e. V. has joined the ranks of many organizations as a co-signatory of the draft letter of the "Keep Android Open" initiative: https://keepandroidopen.org/draft-letter/

Apart from the impact on the many independent developers hosting their source code on https://codeberg.org, we are concerned by the greater societal implications the Android ecosystem's current trajectory will cause. For more information, see: https://keepandroidopen.org

@Codeberg while I applaud the decision and the sentiment, I wonder:

Would it not be a good idea to ask your members about their opinion first?

@tinx @Codeberg Chances are the members of the leading Open-Source code forge would be for having a at-least-sorta-open-OS stay that way.
@alexia I assume they are. My remark was not about the decision itself but about transparency.
